timming? is it righ???

[4g63swap]

but the timming belt on yeasterday when I set all the gears to there timing mark and properly put the timmint belt on I went to rotate it 6 times to get the tensionor set right and one of my valves were hittin a piston. so I found tdc of #1 and set it that way. is this going to couse any timming problems?

thanks

So you put the Tbelt on the first time and the marks were right but you didnt have the motor at TDC. So you rotated it over and it hit the piston when you were rotating it.

Then you took the belt off, put the motor at TDC and put the belt on again with all the marks in the right position. Then you rotated it 6 times again and it was fine.

Is that what happened?
if so, you will be fine.

No damage was done to your motor by you rotating the motor over like that and having the valves hit the pistons.

WTF?

So he did hurt his motor by turning it over like that then?

If rotating it by hand I doubt he did.....

The second part of that quote is the guys signature and not directly related to this thread.

To the original poster.

If you had everything lined up correctly the valve would not have hit the piston. I can assume that you had something incorrectly lined up originally.

My advice to you is to look at it again before you start it and make sure the ticks line up with everythign correctly....If they don't I would fix it. Just because you arn't hitting when you turn it over doesn't mean it is right.

Are you cams possibly 180 off???

ok here what I did 1st time I lined up all the tick marks to set the timming, the cams were correct(dowel pin at 12 o'clock and the two ticks at 3 and 9 lined up with top of head) then when I rotated it clockwise piston hit(no I didn't damage anything my engine is on a stand not in the car) so I took the timming belt off and lined the tick on the crank sprocket with the TDC mark on the belt cover replaced the belt and everything cleared. question is if thats the case then why have the other tick mark on the oil pump housing for the crank sprocket? and if done the later of the two is the timing set right?

You rotated it while it was out of time - Whether motor is in car or on a stand you probably bent a valve - Do a Compression check before reinstalling Motor.

Wrong.

That happened to 2 of my friends while they did their motor install it their head was fine. No bent valves.

heres the thing I didn't go balls out and spin the crank like crazy I just turned it untill I felt any resistance and if so I stoped at the first sign (also I already checked no bent valves)thats not the reason I posted it to see if what I did is the correct timming!

if you don't think that is part of his sig you truly are missing something........

Buck you are so hatefull and really look for fights please stop it...how helpfull is it to say things like WTF and Wrong.

To the original poster most likely you did not bend a valve. Valves are not that easy to bend and if you were being carefull you should be ok. Worst case scenerio you have to fix it later.

If your have your motor at TDC, both the cam gears lined up properly, the Bshaft in phase, the crank sprocket and oil pump gear lined up correctly then your car should be timed properly.

That part of his sig is DIRECTLY related to this Thread when his reply is BUM DOPE. My only mistake was replying to this initial lame-ass description / Thread to begin with -

Which BTW NOTHING in that initial post could allow ANYONE to help him verify...

"reason I posted it to see if what I did is the correct timming!" / timming problems?[/

TRUST ME - I won't take the time to respond to such ignorant shit anymore!

If SOME of you dumbasses want to put this motor - or ANY motor - BACK in the car - put the Engine Bay ALL BACK together - THEN rip the Engine Bay back apart & pull the Head off in the car - IF IT"S BAD - knock your DUMB####INGASSES out... ( is THAT mean & hateful enuff for you?)

Even in light of the additional piss-poor-posted info I stand by my previous post...

You rotated it while it was out of time - Whether motor is in car or on a stand you probably bent a valve - Do a Compression check before reinstalling Motor in car.

If you can't figure out whether your timing marks were aligned correctly you shouldn't be messing with the timing belt in the first place. If you can't line the marks up and get the balance shafts in phase, you sure is hell aren't going to be able to set the tension correctly.

Ok, here's the deal see if you can rotate the motor so that the #1 cylinder is on tdc look at both the intake and exhaust valves you want them both to be closed. If they are not rotate to tdc on #1 again. If you can't get both the intake and exhaust valves closed by rotating the motor to get #1 cyl on tdc up to four times then it is out of time.
